G'day, I’m Owen — a former CFO turned Executive and Leadership Coach, and the founder of Ledger Leaders.
With nearly 20 years in the accounting and finance profession, I know the world of balance sheets, boardrooms, and burnout.
I also know the mindset shift it takes to go from technical expert to confident, effective leader — because I lived it.
Ledger Leaders was born from that journey.

I spent the early years of my career in audit at Grant Thornton, before stepping into senior finance roles across privately held and multinational companies.

It became clear to me: the numbers only tell part of the story.
The real impact comes when you know how to lead people, not just processes.
Now, I help accountants and finance professionals lead with clarity, not chaos — and grow their influence, confidence, and career impact in the process.
